DS is nearly 9 months old. He's never been a great sleeper but over the last couple of months he's got loads better and settled into a pattern of having a 7oz bottle of formula at 19:00 before bed and then waking for another 7oz at 23:00ish and then again at 3:00ish, he gets up for the day at about 6:30 but doesn't want milk then.
I think it's habit rather than need as he's not hungry when he wakes in the morning and is quite happy to wait until 9ish before having any more milk.
I'd like to reduce the night feeds, I'm pretty adverse to crying so thought that I'd reduce the amount he has at 3am slowly over the course of a couple of weeks and see how we go. before working on the 23:00 feed. Is this sensible or am I making it more complicated than it needs to be? Should I just go cold turkey?
